New pet trick for Fido: Shoot a video with a GoPro. With this harness, it can be done

Maybe your dog will shoot better vacation videos than you do -- and certainly from a different angle. A new harness developed by video camera maker GoPro lets dog owners see life through their pet's eyes. Mount a camera on Fido to capture a Frisbee moment or his mad dash into a lake.

GoPro, based in San Mateo, Calif., designed the Fetch dog harness with two camera mounts: one that affixes to the dog's back and another for its chest. It's the first product that GoPro has made for pets.

The harness is adjustable and fits dogs from 15 pounds to 120 pounds. It costs $59.99 (cameras start at $199).

"We designed Fetch to meet the unique needs and usage for pets and can't wait to see the images and videos that owners will capture and share ..." Paul Osborne, senior director of product management, said in a statement released Tuesday.

Other companies have put pets behind the camera too. A company called Dogtek makes an Eyenimal Pet Video Camera that weighs just 1.2 ounces and can be worn around the neck of a cat or a dog. It costs $99 and clips on to an animal's collar.
